Makawa grew extremely anxious at the thought. He immediately cried and pleaded.“Mr. Wade, with all due respect, I am considered a talented individual in the biopharmaceutical industry. If you fire me, it will be a great loss to you. I’m begging you; please let me stay on. I will work as hard as I can for you!”Charlie calmly replied, “So now you’re begging. I’m afraid it’s too late. You must settle the resignation procedures by today. Otherwise, the company will end our contract with you by force.”After that, Charlie looked at Isaac and snapped, “Get him out of here.”Isaac nodded and immediately stepped forward. He held Makawa’s collar like grabbing a chicken’s neck and tugged him out.The commotion caused everyone in the meeting room to finally notice how serious the situation had become.Charlie had already received the shares transferred from Ichiro. He was the new boss for Kobayashi Pharma. As such, he was in control of everyone’s life and death.Whoever offended him woul
Yahiko sat in his car and cursed non-stop.It was his first time being humiliated like this.As Ito family’s leader, how could he be humiliated by a young Oskian lad? Not forgetting how his bodyguards had also been defeated by Charlie. The same Charlie even denied the forty-five billion USD refund credited into Kobayashi Pharma?That was forty-five billion dollars on the table!Equivalent to three-hundred-billion RMB, it was a significant sum to anyone, and even the filthy-rich would find it unacceptable to lose so much money without a valid reason.As such, Ito gritted his teeth and cursed, “I swear I am not worthy as a man, should I fail to get revenge this time! Not only do I want to get back all my money, but also I want this lad to die in Japan!”Tanaka, who stood beside, hurriedly replied, “Chairman, Mr. Wade is compelling. Please carefully reconsider and be prudent about finding any fault with him!”“Nonsense!” Yahiko raised his hand and slapped Tanaka. That slap on h
Not only was Ito family the top financial magnate in Japan, but it was also powerful within Japan’s underground world.There were a total of three influential underground organizations. Yamaguchi Group was in the first place while the Ito family came second.The underground world was a cruel realm where the weaker ones would be taken advantage of by the mightiest. One had to maintain its strong position to survive.To the people from the underground world, it was never their will to be merciless, and that their actions were forced by the nature of survival of the fittest among the underground.If one were familiar with the culture where you would take revenge on your oppressors, no one would dare to mess with you sooner or later.But if you were hit once and chose to remain on the long-suffering path instead of fighting back, the underground would surely bully you.Moreover, there was an essential rule in the underground: no one should seek help from the outside world to solve
Yashiko looked down whenever he thought of his potential partnership with the Schulz family.In the car, he sighed, saying, “Tanaka, Japanese economic development has been in a slump for a decade. Not only our family but the fortunes of a few prestigious families have been affected and shrunk. Also, our heirs are not as capable…”Tanaka asked hurriedly, “Chairman, Japan was once the most developed country in the world for a few decades ever since the world war. Why hasn’t it kept up for the past ten years?”Yashiko replied regretfully. “There are many reasons contributing to this slowed-down economy. Firstly, there is a limited supply of natural resources and land in Japan. Secondly, there were no recent breakthroughs in the Japanese information technology industry.”Yashiko continued emotionally, “Look, gone are those years when many Japanese sectors were on top of the world. These sectors have gradually lost their significance in recent years.”“Back in those days, Sony, Panas
As Japan’s top financial magnate, Ito family had been continually losing its grip on the country’s economy.Another huge Japanese family, Takahashi family, also faced the same dilemma.Both families were actively seeking breakthroughs. So, both pinned all their hopes on the top Chinese families.As the top family in China, Schulz’s family’s influence had been on the rise for the past few years and as China rapidly developed, so did the strength of the Schulz family. Schulz family’s primary focus these past few years had been maintaining and consolidating the domestic market. In these past two years, they began turning their attention to the overseas market after securing its position as the top conglomerate in China.As a result, many Japanese families and tycoons were eager to develop in-depth collaborations with Schulz family. Over the past ten years, China’s import and export trade had continued to grow. The demand for shipping boomed, and the construction of new ports had been ex
In the afternoon, Charlie expelled and fired nearly half of the entire staff working for Kobayashi Pharma with incredible ease.These people from Kobayashi Pharma were originally thinking of using a strike to fight against Charlie. However, they never expected that Charlie would not be softhearted at all. Instead, he fired all of them directly without leaving even a single person behind. This incident caused a major commotion in the Japanese business community!First of all, no one would have thought that Kobayashi Pharma, which had been developing and growing so well, would experience a sudden change of ownership. Ninety percent of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares had already been transferred to an Oskian, and it was now officially an Oskian company. Secondly, no one would have thought that after Kobayashi Pharma became an Oskian company, it would fire more than half of its employees at one go!In Japan, apart from bankruptcies, very few companies would suddenly expel and fire so many
Charlie nodded in satisfaction as he said to Ichiro, “From today onward, you have to cooperate and work together with Liam to readjust all the production plans for Kobayashi Pharma. I want you to stop all of Kobayashi Pharma’s current and previous production, and you will switch to fully producing the Apothecary Stomach Pill on all production lines. Do you understand?”Ichiro hurriedly and sincerely replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I will surely give my utmost cooperation to Mr. Weaver!”Liam spoke to Charlie at this time, “Mr. Wade, Kobayashi Pharma has a very strong production capacity. If we are going to start producing the Apothecary Stomach Pill at full scale, we will also be demanding a very huge amount of raw materials for the Apothecary Stomach Pill in advance. We should make sure that we are fully prepared for this. Otherwise, our production capacity will certainly be severely restricted when we have insufficient raw production materials.”Charlie nodded and said, “I will s
After Graham had hung up the phone, Aurora, who was next to him, asked curiously, “Dad, what did Master Wade say when he called you?”Graham, who was still lost in his excitement, was still unable to free himself from this excitement. He took a few seconds to recover and regain his composure before he said excitedly, “Aurora! The Quinton family has been given an extremely great opportunity!”Aurora asked in surprise, “Dad, what kind of extremely great opportunity are you talking about?”Graham was so excited that he was still trembling a little as he spoke, “It’s Master… It’s Master Wade… Master Wade has taken over Kobayashi Pharma in Japan. He said that he will appoint our Quinton family to supply him with all the raw medicinal herbs and materials in the future. The annual demand is almost one million tons!”“Oh, my God!” Aurora exclaimed in amazement, “One million tons? Our family is currently only supplying about two hundred thousand tons a year, right?”“That’s right…” Graham
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
